    ABOUT THE TEAM

        The swimming and diving team competes in the winter season and includes students who are in grades 7-12.  The swimmers and divers are considered one team and compete at the same meets.  The swimmers may swim at different levels (varsity and junior varsity) during the season depending upon their progress, ability, and performance.  It is the philosophy of the coaches to give the athletes as much experience and challenges as possible to stretch their abilities. Therefore every swimmer will swim most if not all events each season. 

        We do not cut any athletes. We believe swimming is an activity to be enjoyed for a lifetime, starting right now.
